IV. PROCEDURE
Review
In our last lesson, you have learned about the Continental Drift Theory. Let us recall by
describing the evolution of the supercontinent Pangaea to the present day distribution of
continents.
Figure 1. The Evolution of Pangaea from pubs.usgs.gov

Motivation
SONAR beam to navigate and map out the seafloor

What did Harry Hess and his men accidentally discover when they explored the oceanic floor?
Were they able to locate the start of all the movements on the Earth’s surface? Did Harry Hess
team gather much strong evidence to support the claim that continents are drifting?
A. Activity
Group the students into 4 and let them do this activity. Allow them to share their answer
to the class.
Activity 1. Where It All Begins?
Objectives:
1. Describe seafloor spreading.
Materials:
Ages of Oceanic Lithosphere map and diagram of the Mid- Atlantic and Oceanic Crust
Procedure:
1. Get a clean sheet of paper to write down your answers and observation.
2. Examine the thick line in the map below that crosses from Northern to Southern
hemispheres. The line represents the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is the longest and the most
extensive chain of underwater mountains on Earth.
Ages of Oceanic Lithosphere in million years

The colors in the map indicate the ages of the oceanic rocks per million years.
3. Answer the following questions:
Q1. What type of plate movement or boundary is happening in the Mid- Atlantic Ridge?
Choose your answer from these types of plate boundaries: convergent divergent transform
fault
Q2. Before Q1, what molten material will come out from the ridge?
Q3. What can you say about the ages of the oceanic rocks near the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?
Q4. What can you say about the ages of the oceanic rocks far from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?
B. Analysis
Board Race
Let the students choose a partner .(Like top performer and struggling student). Let them
supply the correct answer by writing it on the board.
The figure below shows the cross-section of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and
the Oceanic Crust.
Q5. What can you say about the thickness of the sediments near the ridge?
Choose your answer: thicker or thinner
Q6. Before Q5, what can you say about the density of rocks near the ridge?
Choose your answer: denser or less dense
Q7. What can you say about the thickness of the sediments far from the ridge?
Choose your answer: thicker or thinner
Q8. Prior to Q8, what can you say about the density of rocks far from the ridge?
Choose your answer: denser or less dense
C. Abstractions
The diagram below shows the movement of oceanic crust in the MidAtlantic Ridge and the
different geologic processes involved.
Answer the following question:

Q9. If new ocean floor is being formed near the ridge, what will happen to the old oceanic crust
materials? Note: recall lesson on types of plate boundaries.
_______________________________________________________
Q10. What is the importance of Seafloor Spreading in understanding the origin of the plate
movement? ______________________________________
Q11. Based on your understanding about seafloor spreading theory, is earth getting larger and
wider when plates drift away from each other?
__________________________________________
 Discuss Seafloor Spreading.
 Describe the evidences of Seafloor Spreading.
D. Application
How does Seafloor Spreading affect the environment?
How can you relate the baking of cake in the process of seafloor spreading?
E. Generalization
I know that I know something about _______________________________________
First, ________________________________________________________________
Second, _____________________________________________________________
Then, _______________________________________________________________
Finally, ______________________________________________________________
Now, you know something that I know about_________________________________
F. Evaluation
Directions: Choose the letter of the correct answer. Write your answer on your answer
sheet.
1. What can you say about the ages of oceanic crust near and far from the mid-oceanic
ridge?
A. The Oceanic crust does not age.

B. Oceanic crust materials have the same age.
C. Oceanic crust is younger near the ridge but older far from it.
D. Oceanic crust is older near the ridge but younger far from it.
2. During World War II, he discovered and proposed that the origin of the plate would
be at the mid-oceanic ridge.
A. Albert Einstein
B. Alfred Wegener
C. Charles Darwin
D. Harry Hess
3. What type of plate boundary is occurring in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge?

A. Convergent Plate Boundary
B. Destructive Boundary
C. Divergent Plate Boundary
D. Transform Fault Plate Boundary
4. Describe the thickness of sediments near and far from the mid-oceanic ridge:
A. The sediments are unevenly distributed.
B. The sediments are thinner near the ridge but thicker as you go far from it.
C. The sediments are thicker near the ridge but thinner as you go far from it.
D. The thickness of the oceanic sediments near and far from the ridge is the
same.
5. Why is the Earth not getting bigger despite the fact that molten materials are
gradually coming out from the mid-oceanic ridge?
A. Because everything is being consumed in the subduction zone.
B. Because of the faster rate of movement of materials from the ridge.
C. Because older oceanic materials are pushed away and slowly consumed in
the subduction zone.
D. Because the rate of coming out of new oceanic materials and destruction of
older oceanic crust are the same.
G. Assignment:
How can magnetic reversal be used as evidence of the Seafloor Spreading Theory?
